What do you guys think of my new strut bar? My friend built this for me so I could have more control on the track.

 

Nice looking rig he built you. Have you tested it out and noticed a handling difference yet?

Do you know or can you find out what the tubing wall thickness he used is? Did he reinforce the sheet metal behind the rear mount or leave it stock, drill holes and bolt it on?

 

Nice. Would have been money if he intergrated a brake master cylinder brace.
Pitch him the idea and ill pick one up

 

I have only tested it around town and some tight corners, but is seems to have made a pretty decent difference. I used to have the Cusco and before that the neuspeed front bar.

He used thicked wall DOM tubing, he doesn't have the exact specs right now. There is a bracket behind the firewall as well. We had to drill 2 holes in the firewall to bolt the bar to the reinforcement bracket.

 

Cool, so no major vehicle mods required to fit them. Just drill 2 holes.

Nice idea with the MC brace JDM CD7. It doesn't look like it would be that hard to integrate an adjustable one onto something as sturdy looking as this.

 

i really like it i would buy one.

 

Looks good !!

 

nice i like

 

Get a price quote from your friend ..... Strut brace shopping now...

And that piece looks Bad A$$

 

def. pm me when you get a price. very interested

 

i wouldnt mind picking one up either if the price is right, let us know.

 

accordhybrid, you go by any other names on other boards?

 

hmm lol interesting one of the four?

 

yes

 

It looks awesome, I guess my question is did you design and take measurements while the car was on the ground or in the air? As in - is it actively having pressure on it now or is it just bolted on top?

 

The design was with the car on the ground. The bar is under slight pressure once it's all bolted in place.

 

Gotca - just curiousity

Bar looks good

 

the bar looks damn good far superior than the ones made for the cd chassis

 

i really like the idea going on. I think it would be easier to install and possibly a better setup had he used the factory mounting holes that the stock stablizers use..
Prolly doesnt make a difference, but no drilling required :D

 

good post btw

 

factory mounting holes that the stock stablizers use hmmmm....

 

What stock stabilizer are you referring too? The CD chasis doesn't have any type of factory strut bar from Honda.

 

well i say SiR, if you dont mind, how would one acquire such a unique piece
i feel that a 3 point bar is well suited for tracking and daily spirited driving unlike those generic bars that we are all use to seeing

 

1995 Accord V6
#23 - Strut Bar


I'm fairly certain I remember years ago people saying they fit the 4cyl chassis as well.

 

I've never seen a confirmed fitment of the V6 strut bar on a 4cyl. Plus where middle part of where that bar is mounted, there is no such bracket on the 4cyl accord. At least not on my accord or all of my boys that have accords.
